How 'bout a "Fark unfunny coont thread"?

This would require having someone actually attempt comedy. Gotta say, that would actually be a pretty interesting thread, slamming a shiatty comedian...

SpdrJay:So from now on everyone just call panties "pussy covers"--problem solved.

My all time favorite is "squirrel covers," which I first heard John Travolta utter in one of his movies. I want to say it was Swordfish, but I can't verify that right now. The gal's reaction in the movie was priceless - essentially "Are you farking kidding me?" I think later in the same movie he said "You'll be amazed what a guy will do for a piece of patch."

WhippingBoy:BumpInTheNight: WhippingBoy: As a Hegemonic Patriarch, I was planning to stop oppressing women today, but now I see that the real problem is the use of the term "panties", so instead, I'll continue my oppression, but I'll stop using that term.

You're welcome.

I just called my secretary and told her that as per feminists with too much time on their hands we will have no more panties in the office starting now, I warned her that I will be personally following up on that mandate on monday and random inspections to come.

How empowered she must feel!

From now on, I demand that I be regarded as a Feminist.

Oh it went to her head right away! She had the nerve to suggest that this new rule swings both ways. I was upset at first but then realized we must all make sacrifices in this dawn of a more enlightened age, she was right.

In all seriousness, the wymyn complaining about this have a valid point: It's a bit disingenuous to call the 4 square meters of industrial strength burlap that they wear "panties" just because they're wearing them under their loose-fitting jeans and flanel shirts.

radarlove:Women's vaginas are filled with mucus and occasionally yeast, smell off-putting, are naturally covered in hair (or unnaturally in stubble), gush blood a week out of the month, and look like a Predator face.

Cutesey words like "panties" and things like frilly lace and the color pink have been appropriated to trick potential suitors into forgetting just what disgusting germ-filled incubators women really are.

If I reach a point in my life where I'm concerned about what my underwear is called, then I've either completely and utterly failed miserably with no hope of redemption, or I've completely and utterly won.

The Voice of Doom:NotARocketScientistWe need a non-sexual word to describe the lower half of women's underwear. One that can be used for small children as well as old and/or obese women and not make anyone cringe.

Why is there a need for some special word at all?Just call them underpants and be done with it - it's not like men were trousers and women were trousies.

This. Did someone forget the word "underwear"? As in "mens' underwear" or "womens' underwear" or "Whose underwear has been sitting on the bathroom floor for a week?" or "My grandma ripped a big hole in her underwear."

The author of the article isn't demanding that a new word be added to our language to describe her underwear, because it already exists. She's demanding that Victoria's Secret stop using a sexual-sounding word in their advertisements. (Presumably so she can shop for her lace thongs and high heels in an unintimidating, non-sexualized context?) For god's sake, just go two doors down to the Dress Barn and be done with it.

You Idiots:mongbiohazard: Why does the word "panties" bother so many people?

Because they're too wealthy and too pampered and don't know what real problems are like anymore so they have to invent bullshiat non-problems to fuss over like the useless parasites they are.

"Please lady, tell me more about how the word panties shouldn't be used."

A lib? Knowing that some pointless stupidity is stupid makes that makes you a lib now?You must have never read a single post of mine ever. Hint: I voted for G.W. Bush... twice. Because that's what most "libs" did, right?

Me too. I've always found the word "panties" sexy. I wasn't aware there was a problem with it, except that it's weird to hear my grandma say it (maybe we should just make grandma's say a different word).

So you're biatching about an internet-connected biatcher, about her post on the internet, while being internet-connected? And you throw in "lib" and "butthurt"... Do you actually have something to say?

Did you read the entire article? She dismissed the word underwear. From TFA -

"So what word could be used instead? Personally, I've always just called my bottom unmentionables "underwear." My sister, though, disagrees. "Underwear" is no dice, she says, because women have two types of underwear (bras and panties)-andhow will you know which ones are being referred to? "

Her sister is retarded. When I said grandma ripped a big hole in her underwear, did you think "Well, I shore hope her boobs are OK"? Neither did anyone else.

That's an excellent point. Allow me a rebuttal: Article author, why in the hell are you talking about your underclothing with someone you don't know well enough that you can just call it whatever word pops into your head first?!?

It used to be that I could read a headline about panties, see a large number to the right of said thread, and be assured that the thread would be almost wordless and worth viewing. Fark, what the hell? You used to be so much cooler.
